The General Assembly. DISPENSARY BILL GOLS THROUGH HOUSE. AN ADMINISTRATION MEASURE TO MEET THE CRISIS. The Rill Vigorously Attacked on Various Grounds?The Sn|>|>ort Given is Non-Factional. The " official" dispensary bill was called up in the House, and aftor the defeat of several amendments it was passed to u third reading' without any change in its features. It is not denied that tiiis measure is intended to meet the recent decision of the Supreme Court with regard to the importation of liquors, and in advance had received tiH* endorsement of too Governor. Mr. Crum, of Barnwell, proposed an amendment by which dispensers could give personal as well lis indemnity and surety bonds. Mr. Skinner favored the amendment. Dr. Wyeho said no policy should bo adopted that would endanger the State's fund. The board of control have entire oharge of theso matters. Mr. Crum said that it was wrong in principle to have one or two men perhaps keep a man out of otlice because some enemy of the nominee made a complaint to I ho company. Mr. Cushman, of Aiken, asked whether Mr. Crum knew of any county losing money where otllcers were bonded by guarantee companies. Mr. Wyeho said that there had already been too much talk about defaulting dispensers and he certainly wanted to see the State board of control have absolute power to protect tho State. By a voto of 09 to 111 the House agreed to Mr. Crum's amendment givimr Ihn ..|<rkt In ..Inn . w, I 1... .?h i.v.liwn. Mr. McGullough, of Greenville, proposed to add : "That said State board of control are hereby required in thu pnrchaso of liquors as heroin provided to purchase from the manufactories, distilling or manufacturing liquors in this State; provided, said liquors stand the test heroin provided and the cost thereof to the State does not exceed the cost of other liquors of equal quality or grade." Mr. McGullough argued that the amendment would help the farmers raising corn : it would create p legitimate market, stop " blind tigers " and assist society generally. Mr. Toole favored the amendment. Mr. Trice, of Orangeburg, said lie was satisfied the people thought the dispensary is the nearest and most practical route to prohibition, and that was why they supported the dispensary law. He and his people did not want to encourage distilleries in any way. By encouraging distilleries the State would give the dispensary its hardest blow, as the dispensary is supported because of its prohibition ^ tendencies. Mr. Garris said there was an arrangement now for the State hoard to buy home-made liquors. If the State requires the hoard to buy home-made liquor it will cover the State with distilleries. . Mr. Patton said there was nothing to require the State board buying from the homo distillers. Mr. Garris said the bill was carofullly prepared by the Attorney General, assisted by thu Governor and others, and the bill was simply prepared to meet the recent decision of the United States Supreme Court. Mr. MoCuliough said the State board would carry out the plalu purpose of the law and the desire of the General Assembly. Mr. McCullough said what be wanted was an expression from tho House. Mr. Goodwin said tho State board has promised to buy from tho mountain distillers. Mr. Garris moved to table Mr. McCullough's amendment and the amendment was icst by a vote of oil to HO. Mr. Thomas, of Kichland, wanted to look out for the beer privileges, and otiored this amendment: Tho State board of control shali have the right in their discretion to appoint special beer dispensers under such rules and regulations as said board may establish, said special beer dispensers to give bond in such sum as the State board may prescribe, and the said board of control may in their discretion at any time revoke such appointments. The House had not concluded tho consideration of this amendment when the hour for taking a recess arrived. At the night session Mr. Thomas took up his beer privilege amendment to tho "ollioial" dispensary bill. He said it merely proposed carrying out tho present rules of tho State board. Tho members of tho hoard are satisfied this umondment should prevail. No harm can come from such an amendment, and it is merely to carry out the present interpretation of the law. To encourage beer drinking is to discourage the strong drinks, liesides, it increases tho revenue. Tho Statu dispensary cannot handle beer as other liquor, and the sale can be better carried on by special dispensers. The State board has absolute charge of tho privik gcs. Dr. I Iderton opposed the amendment. The dispensers all sold beer and ho saw no reason for special beer privileges. This bill has been prepared by tho Attorney General, and ho knew what was wanted, and if the bill is loaded down with amendments thore is no telling if tho whole thing will not uc nugatory. 1 tioro wore now, he urged, bUtUeient dispensaries. The bill, he haul, was simply to moot the recent decision, and there was uo need to confuse matters. Mr. Dukes said there were too tnanv amendnionts to the hill, lie thought ho would rather drink whiskey, If anything, uud not the beer. The amendment was lost. Mr. 1'atton moved to strike out the enacting words of the bill, and said that to oppose this bill was not to oppose the dispensary law. for that is hero to stay. It has boon said that the hi! /as prepared by the Attorney Genera with the assistance of the Govern .* No G >vernor or Attorney Genera: has a right to nay what tills Legislature shall do. When tiiey undertake t > dictate legislation they are beyond their prerogatives. When such a bill comes from the Attorney General or the Governor it is enough to prejudice a man of spirit against the bill. The sooner the executive ottioers know their places the better it will ho for the State. It is our duty to legislate, and not the duty of t rie Attorney General and the Governor to prepare legislation for us. We are presumed to kuow what is to bo done. Ho related an instance, showing how a previous speaker insisted upon the Kxccut'vo and Legislative departments being kept distinct and reminded a| Governor that the departments were v.- ' ' it < distinct. Ho said tbat hud this argument not boon given as a reason why the bill should bo passed ho would not have mentioned tho matter. The amendment is to evade tho otToct of tho decision of tho highest Court iu ti?is eountry. That was tho language of tho author of tho bill. Ho said it was not dignified or honorable for a a Legislature to openly, publicly and wilfully seek to evado tho constitution they have sworn to support. He could not engage in a matter intended to evade a plain uud unmistakable constitutional provision of this eountry. This amendment will ho declared unconstitutional, and it will only cost money, lie had a high regard for the Attorney General, but ho thought that ho was mistaken as ho was before. This amendment would not stand. Tho federal Judges aro not to he blinded in such a manner. The amendment will do more than anything else to break up tho dispensary. It will Involve a vast amount of expenses and tho money will all goto paying ox press charge). Mr. I'atton's time was extended for fivo minute,s. \1 f Sinikiim miiil t lin (liunohgurv IhkI worked to the satisfaction of the people of Edgefield, and he was not speaking; in enmity to tho law. To restrict personal importation, as proposed, would injure tho system. Tho majority of people are becoming reconciled to the law, and there is no use to further agitate matters. To enforce this bill will again arouse antagonism, because people now hold they have the right to bring liquor into tho State for their own use. Mr. Kinard, of Abbeville, said he wanted to sound a warning note. Ho said only the opponents of the law wanted to kill the hill. The hill was intended to strengthen tho weak points in tho dispensary law, and he wanted every member to s-and firmly by the law and its friends. It is the grandest law ever offered and we should stand by tho bills, and especially when they come from so high a source as this one does. Mr. Stevenson said that the stated roason of tho bill was to get around the recent Federal decision. If it does not it should not ho passed. Tho purpose is to make the dispensary law an inspection law. An inspection law is unconstitutional and this hill will not puss as an inspection law, <as such a law can only shut out that which is detrimental to public health. The (Jourt had said that a law cannot dllV' t.llflt. U'ltn f I a unlii Itir u twd ho?? I U>t?J Vllttv ** U(?v in OVMVI tJJ (IIIV/UIIUI IO poisonous and detrimental, when the State itself sells the same liquor. The Court has already decided that question, and there is no other result than for this hill to be declared invalid. The bill is not worth the paper it is written on. Ho had never opposed the law and helped to enforce the law as mayor of his town. Ho argued that there was no use to attempt to slap the United States Court in the face. There are other eases pending in these Courts, ami there is no use to prejudice the Courts unnecessarily against the State. Mr. Harris, who presented the bill, said he was sorry members referred to the bill sarcastically and alludod to his being its adopted father. He was surprised that some members should get st> mad because the Governor said he approved the hill. Ho was ttl-o sorry that the opinions of the Attorney General and his assistant, who had worked on this law for two or three years, wore not given full force. Mr. Harris, in reply to the inquiry of Mr. I'atton, said the bill was prepared by the Attorney General. Mr. I'atton said he did not hlaine the Attorney General for preparing tin) bill, but the Attorney General mistook the spirit of the Constitution. Mr. Harris said he denied trying to pass an unconstitutional Act. He valued the law. Ho has never seen the dispensary law declared unconstitutional. We ai'O njw attempting to lead another course, hut not to slap at the court. Unless something is done the State will be Hooded in liquor. It is clearly an inspection law. We are inspecting liquor to protect the people. Mr. Fatten: "That is, it is a bona lido ui/btwii|ji< m protect uio people t ' Mr. G arris: "That is one of tiie reasons, uud another is to keep so much liquor out of the Statj. There was no restriction us to who could order liquor, whilo tlie Slate does not sell to drunkards, and this one tiling this law will prevent." Mr. McCullough believed every measure should iio considered on its merits, lie said ho hud studied the bill uud it did not commend itself to him. Mr. Gurris hud said in his speech that the Governor referred to was the late Governor. He had said after bis shoulder-hitting speech that he meant the present Governor. Mr. Gush man said this was a crisis for the dispensary, and the only tiling to do was to stand to the bill. Mr. I'rice, of Orangeburg, went on to explain the hill us he saw it. Mr. Hucot thought it unwise to pass the bill, because he did not think the measure right. There was no doubt in his mind that the hill would be fruitful of litigation and it could not stand the decision of the court. What is wanted is to stop litigation and uncertainty. Mr. l'ollock was sorry such sovere strictures had been cast on the executive and legal departments. With the section read the Governor has the right to recommend to the House. The Governor has not done anything he has no right to do. Ho is requirol to recommend legislation ^which he deems expedient. It was Ins duty, as it was that of tho Attorney General, to point out and cure defects in.the law. Dim man has as much right to decide the constitutionality of tho question as another. The Attorney General and others hold the bill is constitutional. lie would suy the bill did not seek to evade tho recent decision. The law now requires examination of liquors sold and the idea is to extend the examination. He did not fear the courts in the least on tho bill. Tho measure is to take another road from that declared defective in tho old law. Dr. lldorton favored the bill and had very reason to suppose it would stand iho tests of tho Courts. If tho bill does not become a law tho flood gatos are open id. Mr. L vingston said that overy one acknowledged tho dispensary as an ac ?:o()teli poiuiy 01 me siato. Ho said S the Attornoy Guneral is tho legal ud- ! visor of all dopa-tmonta. Ho presents a bill to romody a wrong and not to violate the Conatitution. Tlio Govor!ior has a perfect right to recoramond any b II iio beliovoa lor tho welfare of tho State. Tho Attornoy Gonoral had a perfect right to prepare tho bill and ask any member to introduce it. Ho aaid for those olllcera to use their inllnoDf'o 'vonld bo wrong, but thoro ia nothing wrong to merely preaont a bill, or to point out dofocta in tho law. Mr. Smith, of Hampton, said tho bill aho nd stand on its own bottom. Tho "tiger" ia hero to Htay, ho argued, | and tho tight r tho restriction t ij more prollUo iho "tigers." The best >v. Y thiutf Is not to burden the book with more statutes. Lie'believed If people were permitted to buy liquor abroad there would bo a bettor feellutf and the law would be more popular. He did notbcliovo in putting bibs on men. lie thought the bill should bo killed because it renewed an obnoxious feature of the law. An aye and nay vote was demanded on the motion to strike out the enaetir.tf words, as follows : Yens?Anderson, Ashley, Austell, Bacot, Barklcy, Burns, C'olcook, Beach, Kdwards, (Jadsden, <?ago, (Jasque, Kibler, Lofton, Mehrtens, MeCulloutflc MeUuniel, Nettles, l'utton, I'crritt, I'yatt, Kcynolds, Robinson, Banders, 8c u brook, "inkier, Simkins, Binith, Bmitli.

Mr. Ashley then propostal the following amendment: "Provided, that nothing herein contained bhull prevent any resident of the State from purchasing liquors outside of this State in quantities not exceeding one gallon at a time and having the same shipped to said purchaser in this State for personal use only. Said purchaser making allidavit that it was for personal use and having said allidavit attached to the packugo while in transportation." Another yea and nay voto was called, resulting against the amendment about the same as on the first voto. Tho hill was then ordered to its third reading. AN IMPORTANT SCHOOI, BILI,. The Boundaries of School Districts and tho Transfer of Pupils. The school hill of Mr. McCullough was culled up. This hill was tho first of the session, and at the time it was first discussed excited much debate. Tho hill was recommltted^and came forth from tho committee with a new dross. Mr. Ashley was not satisfied, and he succeeded in amending the hill so that tho consent of tho hoards of education of the counties shall he obtained before pupils can ho transferred from one school district to another. Tho hill as passed is of much importance to the schools of tho Stato. M _ \ IT !l 1 i 4 _ J A _ . A At ,>ir. vv imams wunit'ii io exempt, lite graded schools from tho provisions of the, Act. Mr. Kogors said tho amendmont was unnecessary. Mr. McCullough thought tho graded schools wore now amply protect id. Those who lived just outside of towns, he said, helped to support tho schools by the it- business, and tho bill provides for amplo protection. Ho wantod to sec the schools overrun and proposed to tutile tho amendment, which was carried. Mr. Williams then failed to have the Lancaster school district exempt front the provisions of tho bill. Tho hilt was then passed to its third reading, it reads as follows : Section .'II. Tho county boards of education shall divide their counties into convenient school districts, as compact in form as practicable, having regard to natural boundaries, and not to exceed forty-nine nor bo less than nine square miles in area : provided, that in cities of tm thousand inhabitants and over this limitation of area shall not apply ; provided, further that when any school district laid out under this t>v.e'i n sha'l embrace cities or t >wns already organized into special school districts, in which graded school buildings havo been erected by the issue of b mv?s o<- hv ?p??"ial taxa j lion, or by donatiou, all the territory I I included in said school district shall I | bear its just proportion of any tax that may bo levied to liquidate such bonds or support the public sehols therein. The present division of the counties into school districts shall remain until changed bythocounty boards of education. The county boards of education arc authorized and empowered to make contracts for the purpose of dividing their counties into proper school districts, and to provide for the payment of the expenses thereof out of tho school funds of tho county. Every school district now organized, or to ho hereafter organized, in pursuance of tliis section, is, and shall be, a body politic and corporate, by tho name and ct.pln /if Wnlt/wtl hicti'lot NJ/\ tc* UWJ I'lOVI A.KJV il'J ^9UV/li number as may bo designated by the county board of education) of county, (tbo nnino of the county in which the district is situated.) the State of South Carolina, and in that name may sue and be sued, and bo capable of contracting and being contracted with, to the extent of their school fund, ami holding such real and personal estate as it may come into possession of, by will or otherwise, or is authorized by law to be purchased, all of which shall bo used exclusively for school purposes ; provided, however, that in the division of aid counties into school districts, as herein provided for, the said county boards of education shall have duo"regard tothoschool buildings as they jiow eaist and so, accommodate tho districts thereto as to .obviate as' far as practicable the ' necessity o'f removing or di&eoritinuing tbo use of any such school building or houso as such.

It was east ashoro Dec. 5, and instead of decaying rapidly the llesh has dried and hardeoou in tho sun until it resembles leather in its toughness. Six horses, with block and tackle, wore requirod to drag tho monster out of tho sand and to a plaoo higher upon tho beach. The front part of tho body is missing, perhaps eaten by tho devilfish's natural enemy, tho sperm whale, and what remains is 21 foot in length.
